Presents!

On my first day I was left in the lobby for 25 minutes until the supervisor swept downstairs to get me. When she saw me, she introduced herself and took me to the elevators. A man was also waiting for the elevator, this woman said nothing to me but talked about the weather with is man as we rose to the 5th floor. Then, when I got into where I was to work and she passed me off to a 20 year old and said "tell her what she needs to do" and walked off. I would say she has stunning social skills if it weren't for the fact that my friend who works there was asked if she knew of anyone who would fit for the job. I sent my resume at my friend's request and was not called for an interview. Then, the temp agency placed me in exactly the same position as I would have had had I been interviewed. The woman recognized my name and treats me with disdain.

Isn't this special? I was given this rubber finger by someone sitting next to the scanner. It makes a god awful noise when the paper gets stuck and it's helpful to have one of these things placed firmly on your finger to encourage the paper through. The day was spent with me not having access to a computer (or a key card so I had to wait for someone to show up to let me in) being given directions by a vapid blond, rather rotund, 20 year old who kept saying "Am I explaining this well? I'm just having such a bad day." She wasn't explaining things well, but the job is not rocket science. I think I can figure out how to scan, put invoices together, and send them through the mail folder-stick-em-in-envelopes-too machine.

The highlight of the day was when I was standing in front of the mail folding machine and my friend sauntered in to photocopy something, paused, looked at me with this brilliant one sided grin she has, and said "Hey mailer, come here often?"
